Time went back to 1:30 in the morning that day. Takagi Taku was just lying on the bed. Before he could close his eyes, his cell phone rang.

"Moxi Moxi?" Although mobile phones at this time did not have the caller ID function, but the people who knew his number were familiar people, Takagi Taku still picked up the phone with some helplessness and pressed the answer button.

"Takagi-kun, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. However, there is really something that you need to make up your mind about right now." Keita Aso's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh? Is this a new development regarding the acquisition of a publishing house?" After hearing Keita Aso's words, Takagi Taku immediately thought of this aspect.

"That's right." Keita Aso replied: "I got a call from the finance department early this morning saying that Toei has forwarded the first box office split of the "clannad" movie. The specific box office split is as of the end of the previous year.

Based on the box office of 1.5 billion yen at that time, we got a full 100 million yen after deducting taxes. So, I want to ask you if you are restarting the acquisition plan for that publishing house?"

"Can you really get so many box office splits?" Takagi Taku couldn't believe his ears. At the year-end party, Takagi Taku once heard the box office results of the movie he wrote.

The box office has exceeded 1 billion. Maybe it’s because the movie theater business is pretty good during the Chinese New Year period. Within a few days, the box office actually increased by another 500 million.

A movie adapted from a game in a previous life was not only accepted by the audience, but also brought him so much profit. Considering that he didn't spend many energy points when redeeming the script, he felt that he really made a lot of money.

Already.

"Of course, the numbers on the account are not deceiving." Keita Aso said in a dumbfounded voice: "Besides, it wasn't Takagi-kun who said that the movie would be a big hit, so he gave away the script for free and got 10% of the investment rights.

What?"

"Hehe. At that time, I just thought that it would be great if this movie could finally get such a box office. Who knew that it would achieve this result less than a month after its release. So, it is normal to be a little surprised." Takagi Taku said to himself

Find a reason.

"Hey, I didn't expect Takagi-kun to have set such a low goal for himself?" Keita Aso joked.

"What's the matter? Set the goal low. You will be happier when it exceeds your goal, right?"

Keita Aso on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, as if thinking about Takagi Taku's words. "What you said seems to make sense." After a while, he spoke.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Is the publishing house you mentioned before still looking for a buyer?" Takagi Taku turned the topic back to the acquisition of publishing houses.

"Well, the owner of the publishing house has lowered the price by another 10 million, but the condition is that the original name of the publishing house cannot be changed after the acquisition. However, if we want to start, we may have to move faster. I heard that the price will be

The bank that the publisher borrowed money from is already preparing to conduct an auction of the mortgaged property." Keita Aso replied.

"Really?" Takagi Taku became a little anxious when he heard the mortgage property auction. If the publishing house is really split and auctioned, even if he takes part of it, he will never be able to get the publishing house and major bookstores he most desperately wants.

The listing agreement between .

"Well, that's why I called you so late to disturb you." Keita Aso replied: "So, what do you mean? Do you want to continue the acquisition plan?"

Takagi Taku didn't reply immediately, but lowered his head and began to think deeply, while Aso Keita on the other end of the phone also knew enough not to disturb him.

To be honest, when I was thinking about acquiring a publishing house, I just saw the impact that entertainment magazine reports had on artists, and thought that if I could have a publishing house, I could have a hand in it.

But in fact, he did not have any specific plans for how to operate the publishing house after acquiring it.

But today, when Keita Aso told himself that the movie he wrote had grossed 1.5 billion in box office in just 15 days, he had some vague ideas.

Once a publishing house is acquired, in addition to the original idea of ​​publishing a weekly magazine that can be controlled by oneself, one can also publish some best-selling novels and then adapt the novels into movies.

This will not only generate a lot of box office revenue, but also build the name of the publishing house, and most importantly, it can bring him a steady stream of "love energy."

As for the specific operation of the publishing house... Takagi Taku looked at the mobile phone in his hand maliciously, as if he could see Keita Aso on the other side of the phone through the radio waves.

Keita Aso, who was sitting at the desk in his apartment, shivered unexpectedly. He raised his head and looked at the window of the study room, which was not open. Why did he suddenly feel so uncomfortable?

Just when he was confused, Takagi Taku's voice came from the phone.

"Qitaijun, prepare the funds, we will carry out the acquisition immediately."

"Takagi-kun has decided? In fact, you can think about it again."

"No need to think about it." Takagi Taku said with a very sure tone: "It is not easy to find such a publishing house. If it is really split up and auctioned, once there is no such opportunity again, it will be too late to regret."

He paused and continued: "I remember you said this publishing house was pretty good, so I decided not to hesitate anymore."

"You just believe me so much? Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you?" After hearing Takagi Taku's words, Aso Keita's lips raised with a hint of a smile and he teased.

"If you want to trick me, why don't you do it now?" Takagi Taku knew very well how much trust he had with his best friend, not only in co-founding the firm, but also in the relationship between this buddy's predecessor and Kei Aso.

Tai can be regarded as a close friend.

"Humph, you don't care much about the company's trivial matters, but you are very unambiguous about big things. Okay, I will contact the other party tomorrow to see what they mean." Keita Aso said with a smile.

"Well, I'd like to trouble you, Keita-kun. Remember to message me in time if there is any progress."

"No problem, Takagi-kun, please rest quickly."

"Well, the same goes for you. I don't want to see your panda eyes tomorrow." Takagi Taku joked and hung up the phone.

Lying back on the bed, Takagi Taku felt a little dazed. Did he actually want to own a publishing house?

A year ago at this time, I was just thinking about becoming a popular singer. A year later, not only did I have an agency with many artists, I even got involved in the publishing industry.
